Double decanted two night prior. The 2016 Rose Rock pours a pale ruby color with no staining of the tears. On the nose, effusive fresh strawberry, red flowers and mint. Medium structure. Unmistakably New World with a heavy dose of inspiration from Burgundy and while this has plenty of substance, it’s all about the fruit and super clean; almost cutesy, very demure. Balanced. Drink now but should drink well through 2031.

Smooth and elegant Pinot Noir, similar to a Volnay or feminine Burgundy. Nice cherry flavors, but there are also some off bubblegum flavors that were weak but marring the overall flavor. A good wine but not truly excellent.

Crunchy, brambly, red strawberry and cherry. Pleasant, approachable but ultimately uninspiring.

Strawberry jelly. Takes some time to come around but yes this is very delicious. Earthiness, tobacco/leather starting to show itself.

A sappy pinot without being cloying. Lots of flavor and a long finish, but still on the elegant side of Oregon pinot

Had this last night; one of the nicer pinots I’ve had in a while- not too light
